Meet our newest campaigners – Marc, Harriet, Gillian, Gary, Evie, Eden and Dean
Putting the visible difference community’s voice at the heart of everything we do is a value we will always stand by at Changing Faces.
Our campaigners programme enables us to work with a group of amazing people with different conditions, backgrounds and experiences, who each feed into our campaigns in their own unique way.
This October, we’re adding seven more wonderful volunteers to the Changing Faces’ team. Join us in welcoming them!
Dean:
“I feel honoured to be a campaigner for Changing Faces — it’s time to stop the stares and start educating. We are uniquely incredible, a miracle by definition. Let’s show that together.”
Marc:
“I’m excited to be starting as a campaigner with Changing Faces because it gives me the chance to help rewrite the rules — not just around how we see visible difference, but how we see ourselves. We are all enough, exactly as we are. And when we stop hiding from ourselves, we help others do the same.”
Eden:
“I’m proud to be contributing to raising awareness of visible differences. I hope to use my platform to share not only my journey, but to bring light to a plethora of inspiring and powerful individuals who are waiting to speak their truths. Being a campaigner for Changing Faces will provide me with the opportunity to show how my condition has empowered me as a young woman. Our visible differences are a rarity that should be celebrated, not hidden.”
Gillian:
“I’m looking forward to being a campaigner, because I want to show that there’s a beautiful life beyond the mirror. Not all is lost when you develop a visible difference.”
Gary:
“Only five years ago, I was hiding my face and my voice. Since then, I’ve shared my story on Channel 4, and now I’m proud to be an official campaigner for Changing Faces. I want to keep using my voice for good, challenging stigma and creating change.”
Evie:
“As a campaigner, I hope to help others to feel more confident in themselves and to embrace their visible difference. Education is vital, and I want to be part of improving understanding and acceptance for our community.”
Harriet:
“It’s important to me to raise awareness of the emotional impact of living with a visible skin condition. Eczema, topical steroid withdrawal and self-esteem is a topic that resonates deeply with me—both in how I share my journey publicly through my platform, and in the private, everyday realities of navigating body image as my condition fluctuates. We all have our own stories to tell, and I’m looking forward to continuing to share mine amongst a group of brilliant people.”
